Omaha Surf Life Saving Club is looking for community help so they can continue to provide vital lifesaving and train future lifeguards in how to do the same.

The club is a non-profit organisation made up of dynamic, highly trained volunteers and supporters who are passionate about water safety, the beach environment and are willing to contribute their time and skills to the local community.

It has been welcome news that some government funding is now available to support surf lifesaving clubs with the cost of delivering lifesaving services, but this doesn't cover all of their costs - they still need to part-fund some of the patrol operations, and all of the junior surf and surf sports programmes which have grown hugely in popularity.

Omaha Beach Surf Life Saving Club has developed a sponsorship framework that provides supporters with an opportunity to align themselves with the club and see their brand or business name displayed on the building, website and some of the equipment. The club offers a range of options from one-off donations to multi-year sponsorship partnerships. 

What they are looking for now is community connections, networks and knowledge. If you own a local business or work for a company that you think might be interested in sponsoring them, let the club know.  

“If you have any contacts or think about any opportunities you might have to connect with potential sponsors we want to hear about them. We know that asking for money can be difficult, so we're prepared to do that bit. We just need our community to get behind us and tell people about the good work we do and that you think we're a worthwhile charity to support.”

Alternatively, you might like to consider joining the club as a supporter. This is an area the club is looking to grow so they are better connected with the community.

The club would like to gather contact details by the end of May so they can contact potential supporters, host them at the club, show them what they do, and explain what they need so that next season they can be ready to hoist the flags, hit the arenas, and keep getting better.

If you are interested in the sponsorship framework, have a contact, or any questions please send an email to [email protected]
